IMPROVEMENT IN SCARFS.

I Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 1 77,136, dated May 9, 1876; application filed March 17, 1876.

turn so that when one edge or side of this central part is worn, the same may be'turned so as 4 to bring another unworn side in this'position,

whereby the scarf can be used much longer than isthe case at present.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure I represents a front view of a scarf embodying my invention. Fig, II is a section of the same.

A and B are the two flaps, folded over each other, and attached to a back-piece, D, in the usual manner. 0 is the central piece. This central piece 0 is usually attached and sewed onto the upper points or corners of the flaps. I make this piece 0 of a square shape, and attach the same, by means of a central stud or button, a, to the back-piece D in such a manner that the same can be turned on said .button on so as to bring either side at the top.

The sides n, n, n, and n are all made similar to each other, and I prefer to make the same slightly curved to fit the shape of the neck but they maybe made straight.

The corners are likewise cut ofl so as to fit against the edges of the turned-over flaps in the inside. Instead of making this central piece G of a square shape the same may be made triangular or polygonal, care being taken to make all sides corresponding to each other. The principal wear and tear of the scarf being against the upper edge of this central piece G, on account of its continual friction against the throat orchin, this upper edge will soon wear out, in which case another side may be turned to the top, while the torn side will be. covered by the flaps A or B.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is# V A changeable center-piece O, in combina tion with flaps A and B, constructed and arranged to operate in the manner and for the purpose substantially as described.
